I'm not sure I understand that that test is actually valid anyway. Consider the test query:

select name from kunde where name >= 'ö';

If 'ö' is 'ö', then isn't the query above mixing single and a multibyte encoding? Ie. It should all be single byte -
e.g.

select name from kunde where name >= 'ö' order by name asc;

Or all multibyte (displayed byte by byte) whatever that results in:

s*e*l*e*c*t* *n*a*m*e* *f*r*o*m* *k*u*n*d*e* *w*h*e*r*e* *n*a*m*e* *>*=* *'*ö'*;*

Of course, we all know how well I grok encoding issues :-)
